2.3. Capital Expenditure for Water and Waste Water Fund

The Water & Sewerage Operational actuals remains on track against the budget. The current Goods and Services are below YTD budget however that is because not all operational funds have been accrued against the reporting period. Any savings are being reviewed as part of the March quarterly budget review.

2.5. Accrued Wastewater Operating Revenue less Expenditure

The following shows the estimation of the accrued revenue less expenditure. Capital revenue has been excluded

Annual variance for operating surplus based on current budgeted cost structure is projected at $196K above budget.

This variance is mainly due to projected capital costs expensed of $240K and finance costs of $15K included in calculations and offset by a $464K saving in employee cost.

Financial data is up to April 2017.

The annual operating surplus is projected to be $150K below budget which will somewhat offset any positive variances within the Water business.

Revenue is projected to be $285K above budget which is driven by $126K higher rates and $132K higher internal transfer income.

Operating expenses are forecast to be $436K above budget mainly due to projected capital costs expensed of $423K and $20K of finance costs included.

The number of new leaks identified during April for residential customers was 1742 and for non-residential customers was 203 which is an increase over the previous month for both categories. Consequently, the number of meters with leaks at the end of the reporting period has increased for both residential and non-residential customers. The number of leaks ceased during the period for both categories also increased. We are currently investigating the reason for this significant spike in leaks and whether this can be attributed in any way to TC Debbie.

The average leak days for current leaks shows the average number of days a leak exists before any action by the customer to rectify the cause of the leak. The average leak days for ceased leaks shows the average number of days that the leak exists before the leak is repaired.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

4.1. Surface Water Raw Water Storage Capacities

Water Services sources water from a combination of surface water and groundwater sources. With the exception of Middle Creek Dam the storage facilities are owned and operated by SunWater. Middle Creek Dam is under Council’s control. The water stored in each of the storages is detailed below.

There is a downward trend for Average Leak Days (Current Leaks) for residential customers, however, a slight increase for non-residential customers. The gap for current leak days between non-residential and residential is 88 days. The Average Leak Day Leaks (Ceased Leaks) show that the residential customer has the leaks repaired within 12 days on average, whereas the non-residential customer takes 34 days to have leaks repaired on average. Considerable effort is undertaken with non-residential customers to encourage attention to fix the identified leaks.Data is at 30 April 2017

$1,126,583

The Assessment Panel recommendation is not to proceed with accepting any offer due to unacceptable non-conformances to the Form of Contract that could not be resolved to MRC satisfaction. The Tender will therefore be readvertised with adjustments to provide for separable portions to attract a broader range of offers. The works now won't be delivered until FY 17/18.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

5.1. Drinking Water Compliance

Safe Water supplies are provided in accordance with the requirements of the Water Supply Safety and Reliability Act and are measured against the Australian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines. Drinking Water samples are taken at the outlet of Water Treatment Plants and within the reticulation network. A summary of the performance is detailed below.

Higher number of potable water tests due to issues and extra checks relating to Cyclone Debbie. Eton Treated and Reticulation samples continue to have Se above 10 but below 15ug/L (limit of 15 ug/L). Measured values were between 10 -12ug/L. Nickel was detected above the health guidelines at the Paget sample site. This has been reported to the regulator. Investigations indicate that the tap not the water supply is the source of the nickel. Replacement of the tap is in progress.

The licence requirements differ based on the time the Development Approval was issued and the receiving environment associated with any discharges.

5.3. Backflow Testing

Backflow devices are installed on water services where there is a risk that water could return from a private property back into the Water Reticulation network. The requirement for backflow devices is regulated in accordance with the Standard Plumbing and Drainage Regulation.

All wastewater tests for samples logged at the time of reporting were compliant with the exception of a faecal coliform breach for Mirani effluent on 27 April 2017.
